No one really knows how things will play out but I was wondering if people are committed to Lemmy, or would the mod team migrate to greener pastures if a better, more functional alternative comes to the forefront.
I’m hoping Lemmy can improve but I personally don’t love using it. Its still early days though so that might change. There are a couple promising alternatives in development right now but since they aren’t out, everyone is migrating to lemmy.
As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.
Looking at other fedi apps like Mastodon, accessibility and UI/UX will soon follow. Which is promising.
But yes, it’s the early days of Lemmy and maybe even the fediverse. So we’ll see what the future brings ;)
I started on Mastodon last year and watching it increase in size by orders of magnitude over the last several months has been a beautiful thing to watch. I am thrilled Lemmy has taken off, finally. The fediverse has restored my faith in humanity quite a bit and consuming it feels healthier, there is no way I am going back to centralised platforms. Come to mastodon and get a glimpse at what Lemmy may become. :)
I’m not necessarily committed to Lemmy, but I am fairly committed to a fediverse Reddit-like app. And Lemmy is the one I’ve liked the most. The nice thing is, if something comes along that you prefer, you could switch to that and we’d still be able to interact.
There is way too little nsfw content on here to make this a permanent replacement
I‘m committed to decentralized social media, so for now that’s this and kbin yeah.
I hope though that eventually a better UI in some app can help with your disability, being physically ill doesn‘t sound like a good time at all.
I’m not a fan of it. I have three separate accounts on lemmy servers. I don’t like the separation of different servers that are happening and I feel like it’s all a big mess. I know it can improve but so far I’m not impressed. I also agree with others that it is very slow in terms of performance.
